Think not that I am come to send peace on earth. I came not to send peace, but a sword.
For I am come to ‘set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.’
And ‘a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.’Matthew 10:34-39

For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now--and never to be equaled again.Matthew 24:21

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.Romans 8:35-39

Persecution of Christians is a hard topic. One thing seem clear to me anyway. The world is today sinful and wants to live in sin. I am no exception but I have now changed my life and I want to live for Jesus and I know it's going to cost.
God allows trials and punishments as his own people has turned away from him. That does not mean that the people who are building fema camps has to be good people or God's servants.
Some people will suffer as a result of God's wrath and God's punishment. Others will suffer as a result of that they are righteous, and standing up for their faith in a godless world, so they are persecuted because of their faith.
One must try to discern a little and not to say that everything is the same thing
It's very clear to me for example that kent Hovind is a good and faithful servant of God he suffer becuase he is righteous. But many are those who pretend to serve God but do not love Him.

Here are some Bible words from Hosea.

They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he has withdrawn himself from them. They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.
Hosea 5:6-7

I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
Hosea 5:15

Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he has smitten, and he will bind us up.
Hosea 6:1

What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes early away.
Hosea 6:4

But they do not consider that I remember all their evil. Now their deeds surround them; they are before my face.
Hosea 7:2

But when you had eaten and were satisfied, you became proud and forgot me.
Hosea 13:6

Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God, for you have stumbled because of your iniquity.
Hosea 14:1

When God says: "Return, O Israel" the command is for all people who disobeys, it's not only for Israel. We should all obey God.

And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:Acts 2:17

Boy Sees End of World! Rapture & Heaven ! while Praying overnight!
I think this testimony is interesting. Both amazing and scary. A vision of standing before God, America under total destruction, all electricity cut of, all christians killed.
